Ross Douglas Moving To RB

I can't find any definite online source to post here, but it has been confirmed. Ross will be working with the running backs this spring. Sam Webb talked a little bit about it today. Ross is listed as 5'10" and 176 pounds on the official roster. I would assume he will be a change of pace back/possible 3rd down back.

This one was not reported, but we've been given some great information that redshirt freshman cornerback Ross Douglas will be moved to running back this season. He played the spot on the scout team last season and we're told he was excellent. Remains to be seen whether he'll be in the mix for carries or what.

I have to commend you on the avatar. J Dilla was awesome, and Doughnuts is an awesome album. Really sad about how he passed - not a fun way to go out, for sure. Definitely seems to have cause him to dig deep and create that album though - awesome work.

“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”

We have 11 other DB's returning next year plus the freshman class which includes Peppers and other than T Rich every one of those DB's has a good chance of contributing. Its no wonder Ross decided to switch.

I also don't get the Wilson negging. He made a few very nice plays over the course of the year, and teams largely avoided him when he was on the field. He was only really a liability in man coverage against big tight ends, and he made the tackle even when he gave up completions.

He was an outstanding RB in high school - he put up some crazy stats but the coaches felt he was a better fit at CB at this level. Sometimes the coaches are wrong about that, so maybe he'll be that good. Like many have said, we have a lot of good DBs his age, so moving to RB might be his best bet.

I think Devin to WR and Morris at qb Devon gives us much height and muscle at WR green and smith should be solid at rb and now if we can get our safteies to not play 30 yards deep.. Just FYI hate Texas went fishing early this morning saw deer very tiny compared to Mechhhhhigan deer miss it much haven't shot a buck since 07 just before I joined the army no never shot a afghani or Iraqi but been shot at and blown up in a vehicle deer hunting is much better
